The similarities between Edge and Chrome include the user interface, with familiar rounded corners, similar tab management, and a focus on minimalist design. Microsoft has also been adding compatibility with Chrome extensions, making it easy for Chrome users to transition without losing access to their favorite tools.

While Edge is adopting Chrome’s look, Microsoft still aims to stand out with unique features like Collections, vertical tabs, and an emphasis on privacy. This move is likely a strategic effort to capture Chrome users who might want a similar experience but with some added privacy options and Microsoft integrations. It’ll be interesting to see how users respond to these updates and if it brings more Chrome users into the Edge ecosystem.
